Burberry's last season was a little out of it's comfort zone. As beautiful as it was, this collection returns to Burberry's roots and there's a familiarity that seemed to be lost in A/W 2015. Perhaps it's the location of Kensington Gore that creates that sense of real British heritage fashion.
Lace played a big part in the collection but not in a clichéd, flimsy way. The looks had attitude with personalised backpacks flung over the models backs and strong military shapes in the form of pea coats and jackets grazing their shoulders. There was a lot of emphasis on coats this season despite it being spring / summer wear and I love it. I adore the lightweight trenches skimming the shins and thighs paired with long delicate lace covered maxi dresses and skirts than will easily carry the most stylish of women into next autumn paired with an over sized jumper.
Nothing beats the new Burberry backpacks. So effortlessly cool and easy to wear, I would grab one with my initials printed on the back in a heartbeat if I could chose any piece from this collection. Another surprise love of mine are the black cut out peep toe heels with an almost architectural feel, so easy to wear and incredibly chic.
The beauty looks on the run way consisted of a luminous glow to the skin and a red oxblood stained lip, proving autumnal shades can move into the spring months with the help of dewy skin and a natural looking eye.
Alison Moyet sang during the show and closed it with 'Only you', helping to once again create the iconic experience Burberry is renowned for.
Here are a few of my favourite looks from the collection.
